No kidding, I hate this "weater"
Hey, slurred speech is one of the signs of heat stroke! Someone get Dave B in the shade and get him a cold drink, fast!
Heat?
You folks don't know from heat!
The Phoenix, AZ NWS has backed off this morning from their earlier forecast of a high of up to 119°F for today. Now they're saying this in the forecast discussion:
You can't imagine how quiet the neighborhood streets are on a day like this: No kids playing (baking?) outside, not a human being in sight, no significant vehicular traffic other than the US Postal Service and the garbage truck!
More Phoenix and Arizona weather trivia:
In reaching 105°F on Thursday in Phoenix, an eight-day stretch of temperatures of 110°F or higher was snapped, the 12th longest streak on record for the city (a new streak began on Friday).
The highest temperature ever recorded in Phoenix was 122°F on June 26, 1990, and the highest temperature in Arizona history was 128°F on June 29, 1994, in Lake Havasu City.
Lake Havasu City? You'd think that having that body of water (Lake Havasu & the Colorado River) at the edge of town would provide at least some cooling effect. (?)

The hottoer it gets the weater I git!
That's with the Relative Humidity in single digits, like yesterday's 5%. But that summer monsoon moisture is creeping up from Mexico; the RH is up to 9% today. I like to describe it like so: "It's when you spit, and it evaporates before it hits the ground!"
That won't happen here: instant evaporation! (Did someone say "slurred speech[/writin'] is one of the signs of heat stroke"? (And you're not even in da desert!)

Did that on purpose. Sweating it out at my winter place in Irons, sun burned but cleared out a sweet swiming area. Droid typing at its finest. Kinda strange being here in the summer.
Unofficial reports from NWS Phoenix indicate that our high of 118°F at 3:12PM (MST) today did indeed tie the all-time record high for this date, although they haven't updated their 2:55PM "Record Event Report" to show this new record yet. If so, today will be added to the record books in addition to the following dates that share the same record high:

I was so thrilled that I had to celebrate with a 24.5 oz. Foster's Lager with dinner tonight. Ahhh, cold beer! (Not that I really needed an excuse.)

Ain't that just like dah weatherman....predict'n 116, and miss it by a whole TWO degrees! Might as well consult the sheep grazing in the field....laying down...HOT, standing up...even HOTTER!
Deem dumb weather guys in Metro Detroit, never complain much about heat, but watch when the temps hit zero....those displaced Arizonians, all whine like babies.
Did you ever swat a skeeter when it is 15 degrees?
Did you ever have to mow the lawn when it was snowing softly ?
Did you ever see someone save a buck or two by trying to cool themselves with a wood stove??
Cold...put on a jacket...colder put on a coat...colder still....go for a nice walk and breathe air that is crisp and clean.
One more reason to move NORTH, and stay away from SOUTH.....Whitey.....you can have Florida and all the sand that washes the beaches....water water ever where and NONE to drink.
Oh, sarry Nash....bet those water lines by you have water that has traveled more than the US Army....
While it might get HOT in the Midwest....in the evening...you get a break from it.....not out dar in dah desert....you walk out at 11pm and it hits you like a wall, just minus the sunshine....lizzards and vultures .....no self respecting individual would knowingly locate there, who has all his/her marbles. Unless...day are do'n devils work...I hear dose guys like it hotter than.......well....no I was going to say a firecracker in honor of the day!

Ah, anonomoose, for a jenny-wine troll (from below da bridge) you are a fun guy! — You also do a fierce "Yooper" accent (in ritin' at least), and I gotta respect that! (But of course some fungi are poisonous! )
Now that you mention it, I have to make a minor update, for the record:
At 1:41 AM today, the Phoenix NWS issued a corrected Record Event Report:
Now begins chapter two: As I write, the summer monsoon thunderbumpers are sliding down into the valley from the eastern AZ mountains for the first time this year.

Which makes this date the ninth day in recorded history that this temperature was recorded in Phoenix, and it was only exceeded on three occasions: 120°F on June 25, 1990, 121°F on July 28, 1995 and 122°F on June 26, 1990.

Hey....Nash....do they really make you turn the computer off, because it is an ozone action day?
